Kathleen Chen

Co-President & Co-Founder

Kathleen is a senior at Interlake High School, and has been in the Bellevue District's accelerated program since 1st grade. Her favorite science is biology, and she loves giving back to the community through working with and starting nonprofits like SPARK. She hopes that through the relatable and engaging teaching style of SPARK, young kids can enjoy learning about science and explore their creative and innovative sides while simultaneously gaining knowledge.

Interlake Science Olympiad has achieved great success, placing 3rd two years in a row at the state level. Our volunteers, who have worked hard in AP/IB courses and Science Olympiad, love to share their science knowledge with SPARK students. All volunteers earn community service credit towards their high school requirement, and are a valuable part of our team.
